I use this light all the time at the Campbell Courtney Causeway late at night. even at 20-23MPH, I don't over-ride my beam! If I want to extend the battery, I simply put it on flashing mode, which still gives me plenty of light without blinding someone coming the other way before I can dim the light. Best and brightest light I've ever used. Perhaps the best feature is the 5-seconds on and off with the heavy-duty rubber stretch-band that secures the light to the handlebar. A helmet adapter would make this light even better but there wasn't one when I bought it.

Bought this to help with daily commutes in and around Norwood - usually early mornigs and back home at dusk or later.
Very easy to use and charging is great off the USB. Battery life on "flash" mode is realistically 90 minutes before you start to get a warning - but with the battery save tecnology, you can continue to use at near full brightness for at least another 60 minutes.
The beam is well focused and provides good to very good illumination up to about 15 miles an hour. Higher than that I find that I can start to out ride the beam - a little.
Overall, very pleased and plan to buy a couple more as gifts in the Spring for close friends.
